Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is an embodiment of a device having an attachment part 622 that is attachable to a fabric product 620 (e.g., a cloth, a shirt, an outerwear, a wearable fabric product) and an air blowing part 301 that is supported by the attachment part 622, wherein the air blowing part 301 blows an air flow in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by the fabric product 620 worn by (put on) a human body 609. The fabric product 620 worn by the human body 609 is put on the human body 609.

The structure of the attachment part 622 is disclosed in FIGS. 7-13 and 34-37. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the attachment part 622 for supporting the air blowing part 301 is hung on the collar 621 of the outerwear 620. The outerwear 620 is a wearable article. The outerwear 620 is a wearable fabric product. The outerwear 620 is a cloth. The shirt can be worn as the outerwear 620. The shirt is a fabric product put on an upper body. The inside of the outerwear 620 is a space formed between the outerwear 620 and the human body 609. The inside of the wearable article is a space formed between the wearable article and the human body. A gap 636 formed between the outerwear 620 and the human body 609 is the inside of the outerwear 620. In the present disclosure, “collar” is an edge formed on the outerwear so that the head is exposed from the outerwear. For example, an edge of a hole of a T-shirt for inserting the head in it is also the collar.

In the present disclosure, the human body 609 wears the outerwear 620 and the helmet 640. However, the human body 609 does not necessarily need to wear the helmet 640. When the human body 609 does not wear the helmet 640, the effect related to the helmet 640 may not be necessarily obtained.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the attachment part 622 has the arm 623 (i.e., holding part 623). The arm 623 holds an edge 621or a collar 621 of the outerwear 620. The arm 623 has an outer part 626 and an inner part 627. The inner part 627 is inserted between the outerwear 620 and the human body 609. When the human body 609 wears an underwear 655, which is a fabric product different from the outerwear 620, between the human body 609 and the outerwear 620, the inner part 627 of the arm 623 is inserted between the outerwear 620 and the underwear 655 or between the underwear 655 and the human body 609.

In the present disclosure, the “outerwear” is the fabric product. The “underwear” is the fabric product put between the outerwear and the human body. The human body does not necessarily need to wear the underwear. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be explained below more in detail.

The inner part 627 of the arm 623 is in contact with the outerwear 620 or the underwear 655 from the inside of the outerwear 620. The outer part 626 of the arm 623 is in contact with the outerwear 620 from the outside of the outerwear 620.

The attachment part 622 holds the collar 621 by embracing, sandwiching, pinching, clipping or fixing the outerwear 620 from the outside and inside of the outerwear 620 with the arm 623 (i.e., holding part 623) of the attachment part 622. Therefore, the attachment part 622 can be easily attached to and detached from the outerwear 620 while the outerwear 620 is worn by the human body 609. When the arm 623 holds the outerwear 620, the arm 623 corresponds to the holding part 623. When the arm 623 embraces the outerwear 620, the arm 623 can be regarded as an embracing part 623. When the arm 623 sandwiches the outerwear 620, the arm 623 can be regarded as a sandwiching part 623. When the arm 623 pinches the outerwear 620, the arm 623 can be regarded as a pinching part 623. When the arm 623 clips the outerwear 620, the arm 623 can be regarded as a clipping part 623.

The attachment part 622 shown in FIG. 2 has a wing 624 which is a wind direction adjusting part.

The arm 623 supports the wing 624. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a connection part 683 formed between the outer part 626 of the arm 623 and the inner part 627 of the arm 623 supports the wing 624.

As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment part 622 supports the air blowing part 301. The air blowing part 301 is supported by the outer part 626 of the arm 623. The air blowing part 301 is supported by the outer part 626 of the arm 623 via a support part 210 which is pivotably or rotatably provided on the outer part 626 of the arm 623.

As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment part 622 having the arm 623 and the wing 624 is supported by the outerwear 620. The air blowing part 301, which is supported by the outer part 626 of the arm 623 of the attachment part 622 supported by the outerwear 620, is supported by the outerwear 620. Since the air blowing part 301 is not in contact with the outerwear 620, even when the outerwear 620 is wetted with water, the water contained in the outerwear 620 is prevented from entering into the air blowing part 301. Even when the outerwear 620 is wetted with water, the air blowing part 301 continues to blow the air flow without causing failure of the air blowing part 301 due to the water.

The wing 624 of the attachment part 622 is arranged on the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the outerwear 620. A wind direction adjusting surface 625 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part) of the wing 624 is directed to the air blowing part 301. The wing 624 is arranged between the air blowing part 301 and the human body 609 (e.g., neck, head, back or upper body).

An attachment part 642 having an arm 643 and a wing 644 is supported by the helmet 640. In FIGS. 1 and 3, the attachment part 642 supported by the helmet 640 does not support the air blowing part. The helmet 640 is a wearable article. The helmet 640 is a wearable article worn by the head. The structure of the attachment part 642 is shown in FIGS. 30 to 33.

As shown in FIG. 3, the arm 643 holds the edge 641 of the helmet 640 which is a wearable article put on the head of the human body 609, and an inner part 647 of the arm 643 is inserted between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609.

The inner part 647 of the arm 643 is in contact with the helmet 640 from the inside of the helmet 640. The outer part 646 of the arm 643 is in contact with the helmet 640 from the outside of the helmet 640.

The attachment part 642 holds the edge 641 by embracing, sandwiching, pinching, clipping or fixing the helmet 640 from the outside and inside of the helmet 640 with the arm 643 of the attachment part 642. Therefore, the attachment part 642 can be easily attached to and detached from the helmet 640 while the helmet 640 is put on the human body 609. In addition, it is also possible to adhere or fix the attachment part 642 to the helmet 640.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wing 644 of the attachment part 642 is arranged below the edge 641 of the helmet 640. A wind direction adjusting surface 645 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part) of the wing 644 is directed to the air blowing part 301. The wing 644 is positioned between the human body 609 (e.g., neck or head) and the air blowing part 301. The air blowing part 301 is arranged apart from the helmet 640. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is directed toward the wing 644.

The air blowing part 301 is arranged on the outside of the outerwear 620. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is directed to the wing 624 and the human body 609 (e.g., neck or head) simultaneously.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support part 210 supports the air blowing part 301 so that the air blowing part 301 is inclined with respect to an outer surface 628. Thus, the air flow is directed obliquely upward from the air blowing part 301. Therefore, the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 tends to be directed upward after the air flow is applied to the outer surface 628 of the outer part 626 of the arm 623. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the wind easily reaches the face and the head of the human body 609.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the air blowing part 301 is supported by the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 and the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is sent to both the wing 624 of the attachment part 622 for holding the outerwear 620 and the wing 644 of the attachment part 642 for holding the helmet 640 simultaneously.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wing 624 is arranged above the arm 623 which holds the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the outerwear 620. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624. A part of the air flow is guided to the inside of the outerwear 620 by the wing 624.

As shown in FIG. 3, the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to both the outer surface 628 of the outer part 626 and the outer surface of the outerwear 620 located around the outer surface 628 where the outer surface 628 holds the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 from the outside of the outerwear 620. Consequently, a part of the air flow is guided to the outer surface of the outerwear 620.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wing 644 is arranged below the arm 643 which supports the edge 641 of the helmet 640. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 645 of the wing 644. A part of the air flow is guided to the inside of the helmet 640 by the wing 644.

As shown in FIG. 3, the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to both the outer surface 648 of the outer part 646 and the outer surface of the helmet 640 located around the outer surface 648 where the outer surface 648 holds the edge 641 of the helmet 640 from the outside of the helmet 640. Consequently, a part of the air flow is guided to the outer surface of the helmet 640. As a result, the helmet 640 is cooled from both the inside and the outer surface of the helmet 640.

As shown in FIG. 3, the air flow not applied to the wing 624/644, the outer part 626/646, the outerwear 620 or the helmet 640 goes straight to be applied to the neck or the head of the human body 609.

The above described embodiment is the fan machine 300 capable of blowing the air flow from one air blowing part 301 to “inside of the outerwear 620,” “outer surface of the outerwear 620,” “inside of the helmet 640,” “outer surface of the helmet 640” and “human body 609 exposed between the outerwear 620 and the helmet 640” simultaneously. In addition, when the helmet 640 is not put on the head of the human body 609, the above described embodiment is the fan machine 300 capable of blowing the air flow from one air blowing part 301 to “inside of the outerwear 620,” “outer surface of the outerwear 620,” and “human body 609 exposed from the outerwear 620” simultaneously.

Even when the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609 is small, the present embodiment has an effect of increasing the amount of the air flow entering in the inside of the helmet 640 by the attachment part 642.

The attachment part 642 shown in FIG. 3 is positioned between the hair of the head and the air blowing part 301. Therefore, since the attachment part 642 is provided, the hair can be prevented from contacting the air blowing part 301 in some cases. Accordingly, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing the hair from being entangled in an impeller 302 of the air blowing part 301.

The attachment part 642 for holding the helmet 640 shown in FIG. 3 is light weight since the attachment part 642 does not support the air blowing part 301. Therefore, compared to the fan device described in Reference Document 3 in which the air blowing part is necessarily supported by the helmet, the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 has an effect of reducing the burden on the neck which supports the head wearing the helmet 640.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, at least one foot 632 is provided as a contact part on an end of the inner part 627 of the arm 623. The inner surface 631 of the inner part 627 of the arm 623 of the attachment part 622 of the fan machine 300 has a surface 639 having an approximately recessed shape or U-shape recessed toward the human body 609.

When the fan machine 300 holds the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 while the foot 632 is contacted with the surface of the human body 609, the cavity 633 is formed between the human body 609 and the inner surface 631. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624 and guided to the cavity 633.

When the fan machine 300 holds the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 while the foot 632 is contacted with the underwear 655, the cavity 633 is formed between the underwear 655 and the inner surface 631. The air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624 and guided to the cavity 633.

As shown in FIG. 6, the air flow entered in the cavity 633 passes through the hole 637 of the foot 632 and flows out to the inside of the outerwear 620. Furthermore, the air flow entered in the cavity 633 passes through a gap 634 formed between a plurality of feet 632 and flows out to the inside of the outerwear 620. As a result, the air flow passes through the cavity 633 as shown in FIG. 6.

The wing 624 increases the amount of the air flow entered in the cavity 633. The wing 624 enables to guide a large amount of the air flow to the inside of the outerwear 620.

FIGS. 7 to 12 are drawings of the attachment part 622. When the length of the inner part 627 of the arm 623 of the attachment part 622 shown in FIGS. 7 to 12 is further extended, the cavity 633 through which the air flow passes is extended further downward on the back of the human body 609. Thus, the air flow can be reached deeper in the outerwear 620.

Furthermore, when a refrigerant is stored in the inner part 627 of the arm 623 and the air flow passing thorough the cavity 633 is cooled by the refrigerant, the cooled air flow can be guided to the inside of the outerwear 620.

Furthermore, when a water absorptive polymer member is stored in the inner part 627 of the arm 623, the air flow passing through the cavity 633 can be cooled by the vaporization heat of the water contained in the water absorptive polymer member. Thus, the cooled air flow can be guided to the inside of the outerwear 620. In addition, the attachment part 622 can be modified to have a water supply tank so that the water stored in the water supply tank is vaporized inside the cavity 633. For example, the water can be supplied to the water absorptive polymer, and the water can be sprayed into the cavity 633.

FIG. 13 is an exploded view of the fan machine 300. The support part 210 is provided on the outer surface 628 of the outer part 626 of the arm 623 of the attachment part 622. The support part 210 has a movable part 215. The support part 210 has the movable part 215 which can be rotated by fitting a shaft provided on a rod holding part 244 of the support part 210 into a hole 233 which serves as a bearing of the movable part 215.

The rod-shaped body 308 is rotatably and slidably inserted into a rod holding surface 245 of the rod holding part 244 of the support part 210, and the rod-shaped body 308 supports the air blowing part 301. The air blowing part 301 is supported by the rod-shaped body 308 via a hinge part 307 so as to be movable in a hinged manner. The air blowing part 301 is supported by the attachment part 622 so as to be rotatable, slidable, movable in a hinged manner and detachable from the attachment part 622.

As shown in FIG. 13, an electric motor 303 installed in the air blowing part 301 is electrically connected with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery 304 via an electric conductor 312. The lithium-ion battery 304 is a power source provided inside the rod-shaped body 308. The impeller 302 housed in a fan guard 305 of the air blowing part 301 is driven by electric power of the battery 304 to blow air. The battery 304 is housed in the rod-shaped body 308 by a cover 310 of a battery case. An energization state to the electric conductor 312 is controlled by a switch 309 provided on the rod-shaped body 308.

The fan machine 300 shown in FIG. 14 has four movable parts 324/325/326/327 provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623. The direction of the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted by moving the movable parts 324/325/326/327.

The direction of the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 to the wing 624 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part) is adjusted by moving at least one of four movable parts 324/325/326/327 provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623. Thus, the amount of the air flow guided into the cavity 633 is adjusted by the wind direction adjusting part. Consequently, the amount of the air flow guided to the inside of the outerwear 620 can be easily adjusted.

Simultaneously, the direction of the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 to the outer surface of the outerwear 620 is adjusted by moving at least one of four movable parts 324/325/326/327 provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623. Consequently, the amount of the air flow applied to the outer surface of the outerwear 620 can be easily adjusted.

A slidable part is provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623 (movement shown by an arrow 326 in FIG. 14). Consequently, the height of the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted by sliding the slidable part 326 when the attachment part 622 holds the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 as shown in FIG. 1, 3 or 17.

The number of the movable parts provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623 can be increased or decreased. The form of the movable parts provided between the air blowing part 301 and the attachment part 622 are not limited to the above described embodiment. All forms available to a person skilled in the art can be used as the movable parts.

As shown in FIG. 15, the arm 623 of the attachment part 622 is made of an elastic member. A space 686 formed between the outer part 626 and the inner part 627 of the arm 623 can be opened and closed by applying an appropriate force 687.

Since the elastic member is used for the arm 623, the wearable article sandwiched by the arm 623 can be adjusted to be pressed by an appropriate pressure. Polymers and metals can be used as the material of the member of the arm 623. As shown in FIG. 15, the arm 623 can be manufactured by an injection molding as one component made of polymer. As another embodiment, same as the clip shown in FIG. 15 of Reference Document 2, the arm 623 can be manufactured by molding the outer part 626 and the inner part 627 as separate components and combining the components. In addition, the pressure between the outer part 626 and the inner part 627 can be increased by adding a metal spring.

For the above described polymer, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polymethylmethacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, AS resin, ABS resin, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, acetal resin, cellulose acetate resin, polyurethane, TPU resin, thermoplastic resin, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, silicon rubber, synthetic rubber, natural rubber and the like are preferably used. More preferably, polypropylene, nylon, polyvinyl chloride or ABS resin is used for manufacturing the attachment part 622. Most preferably, the arm 623 is made of polypropylene and the support part 210 is made of ABS resin.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 16, the fan machine 300 has the air blowing part 301 supported on the arm 623, the arm 623 is supported by the foot 632 which is in contact with the desk surface 600, and the fan machine 300 stands on the desk surface 600. The air blowing part 301 can be directed in all directions by moving the movable parts shown in FIG. 14.

When the fan machine 300 stands on the desk surface 600 while the foot 632 is in contact with the desk surface 600, the cavity 633 is formed between the inner surface 631 of the inner part 627 of the arm 623 and the desk surface 600. The air flow can be applied to the desk surface 600 which is located just below the fan machine 300 by guiding the air flow sent from the air blowing part 301 to the cavity 633 by the wing 624 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part). Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of cooling or drying almost entire the desk surface 600.

The helmet 640 shown in FIG. 17 is the helmet 640 to which the attachment part 642 for holding the helmet 640 shown in FIG. 3 is not attached. When the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609 is wide enough, a part of the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the back of the head of the human body 609 and raised to flow into the gap 635. At that time, the back of the head serves as the wing 644 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 17, when the attachment part 622 is attached to the collar 621, the air blowing part 301 is arranged at a position higher than the collar 621 of the outerwear 620.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 17, the air blowing part 301 blows the air flow from a position close to the edge 641 of the helmet 640 toward the edge 641. Therefore, even in the case shown in FIG. 17 where the fan machine 300 is used without using the attachment part 642, the air flow can be guided to the inside of the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 17, since the helmet 640 does not support the attachment part 642 or the air blowing part 301, the weight of the helmet 640 does not become heavy. Therefore, compared to the fan device described in Reference Document 3 where the air blowing part is necessarily supported by the helmet, the embodiment shown in FIG. 17 has an effect of reducing the burden on the neck which supports the head wearing the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 17, the air blowing part 301 is supported by the attachment part 622, the attachment part 622 is supported by the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 worn by the human body 609, and the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 flows into the gap 635 between the head of the human body 609 and the helmet put on the head. Consequently, the air flow is guided to the inside of the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 18, the fan machine 300 has the air blowing part 301 supported by the rod-shaped body 308, and the rod-shaped body 308 is detachably supported by the support part 210 of the attachment part 622 for holding the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 worn by the human body 609. Thus, the rod-shaped body 308 can be served as a hand-held part and the fan machine 300 can be served as a hand-held portable fan machine 616 by removing the rod-shaped body 308 from the support part 210 while the attachment part 622 is attached to the collar 621.

FIGS. 30 to 33 show the structure of the attachment part 642 for holding the edge 641 of the helmet 640 shown in FIG. 1. The cavity 633 for making the air flow pass between the helmet 640 and the attachment part 642 is formed by the surface 639 having an approximately recessed shape or U-shape where the surface 639 extends from the wind direction adjusting surface 645 of the curved wing 644 of the attachment part 642.

Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of stably guiding the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 to the inside of the helmet 640.

The method of attaching the attachment part 642 to the helmet 640 is not limited to the method of attaching it to the edge 641 (e.g., a clip).

For example, the attachment part 642 can be attached to the helmet 640 via an adhesive member and tape. In addition, the attachment part 642 can be attached to or hung on a member arranged inside the helmet 640 or a belt for fixing the helmet 640 to the head. Furthermore, a cloth-like body or a sheet-like body locked to the member arranged inside the helmet 640 can be used as the wind direction adjusting part. Furthermore, a cloth-like body or a sheet-like body hung on the member arranged inside the helmet 640 can be used as the wind direction adjusting part. A cloth-like body or a sheet-like body hang on the belt for fixing the helmet 640 to the head can be used as the wind direction adjusting part.

The shape of the wind direction adjusting part for guiding the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 supported by the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 into the outerwear 620 can be provided as the shape of the edge 641 of the helmet 640.

The arm 623/643 supported by the wearable article worn by the human body 609 has inner surfaces 629/631/649/651 and outer surfaces 628/630/648/650.

Among the surfaces of the arm 623/643 supported by the wearable article worn by human body 609, the inner surfaces 629/631/649/651 are directed toward the human body 609.

Among the surfaces of the arm 623/643 supported by the wearable article worn by human body 609, the outer surfaces 628/630/648/650 are the surfaces directed opposite to the human body 609.

When the arm 623/643 are supported by the wearable article, the parts 626/646 of the arm 623/643 arranged on the outer side of the wearable article are referred to as “outer part of the arm.”

When the arm 623/643 are supported by the wearable article, the parts 627/647 of the arm 623/643 arranged on the inner side of the wearable article are referred to as “inner part of the arm.”

When the arm 623/643 holds the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article, the parts 626/646 of the arm 623/643 arranged on the outer side of the wearable article are referred to as “outer part of the arm.”

When the arm 623/643 holds the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article, the parts 627/647 of the arm 623/643 arranged on the inner side of the wearable article are referred to as “inner part of the arm.”

When the arm 623/643 holds the wearable article, the wearable article is held between the inner surface 629/649 of the outer part 626/646 of the arm 623/643 and the outer surface 630/650 of the inner part 627/647 of the arm 623/643.

In a state that the inner surface 629/649 of the outer part 626/646 of the arm 623/643 is in contact with the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article, the arm 623/643 holds the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article.

In a state that the outer surface 630/650 of the inner part 627/647 of the arm 623/643 is in contact with the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article, the arm 623/643 holds the edge 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearable article.

The air blowing part 301 is supported from the outer part 626 of the arm 623 so that the direction of the air flow can be adjusted.

The fan machine 300 has the wing 624 (i.e., wind direction adjusting part) having a curved plate-shaped body. The shape of the wind direction adjusting part is not limited to the shape shown in the present embodiment. For the wind direction adjusting part, a curved plate-shaped body, a tubular body such as a bent pipe, a tubular body such as a flexible hose, a nozzle having a curved surface, and a wall for changing the direction of the air flow can be used, for example. The arm 623 provided with the fan machine 300 supports the wing 624.

The wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624 guides the air flow generated by the air blowing part 301 from the outside of the outerwear 620 to the inside of the outerwear 620. The wing 624/644 separates the air flow generated by the air blowing part 301 into a main flow and a sub flow.

The main flow is the air flow not applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 625/645 of the wing 624/644. The main flow is applied to the outer surface of the wearable article and parts (face, neck and head) of the human body 609 exposed outside the wearable article.

The sub flow is the air flow applied to the wind direction adjusting surface 625/645 of the wing 624/644. The moving direction of the sub flow can be changed by the wind direction adjusting surface 625/645 of the wing 624/644.

The sub flow is guided into the cavity 633 by changing the moving direction of the wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624. Thus, the sub flow is guided to the inside of the wearable article.

The sub flow of the air flow is guided to the inside of the outerwear 620 by applying the air flow generated by the air blowing part 301 supported by the arm 623 to the wind direction adjusting surface 625 of the wing 624 in a state that the outerwear 620 having the collar 621 held by the arm 623 is worn by the human body 609.

The sub flow of the air flow is guided to the inside of the helmet 640 by applying the air flow generated by the air blowing part 301 supported by the arm 623 to the wind direction adjusting surface 645 of the wing 644 in a state that the outerwear 620 having the collar 621 held by the arm 623 is worn by the human body 609.

The wing 624 has a shape for guiding the sub flow of the air flow into the holes 638 by changing the direction of the sub flow of the air flow.

The wing 624 has a shape for guiding the sub flow of the air flow into the cavity 633 by changing the direction of the sub flow of the air flow. Since the wing 624/644 is provided, the sub flow of the air flow can be stably guided to the inside of the outerwear 620 or the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the air blowing part 301 is supported by the attachment part 622 without touching the human body 609 and the outerwear 620 worn by the human body 609. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing the air blowing part 301 from directly touching the sweat even when the outerwear 620 is wetted with sweat soaked from the human body 609 into the outerwear 620.

(Comparison with Reference Documents)

In the device described in Reference Document 1, a pipe connected with a fan device is drawn from an opening part of the underwear to the inside of the underwear. Thus, the air flow can be sent from the pipe to a space between the underwear and the human body.

In the device described in Reference Document 2, a towel or a collar of a cloth is held by a clip and the air flow can be sent while the device is supported by the towel or the cloth.

However, the device described in Reference Document 1 has a disadvantage that “two steps operation is required: the fan machine is hung on the cloth by using the attachment part of the fan machine; and then the pipe is drawn to the inside of the cloth to secure a blowing path into the cloth.” The above described disadvantage is referred to as a disadvantage D1.

Furthermore, the device described in Reference Document 1 or 2 has a disadvantage that “the wind cannot be applied to both surfaces of the inside and the outside of the cloth simultaneously and thus the evaporation of moisture of the cloth wetted with sweat is not facilitated from both surfaces of the cloth.” The above described disadvantage is referred to as a disadvantage D2.

Furthermore, the device described in Reference Document 1 has a disadvantage that “the distribution of the amount of the air flow blown to the inside of the cloth and the amount of the air flow blown to the outside of the cloth cannot be adjusted.” The above described disadvantage is referred to as a disadvantage D3.

Furthermore, the device described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that “the wind cannot be applied to both the inside of the cloth and the human body (head) exposed outside the cloth simultaneously.” The above described disadvantage is referred to as a disadvantage D4.

Furthermore, the device described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that “the air blowing part is in contact with the human body and the cloth which are wetted with sweat and thus the sweat is easily penetrated into the air blowing part to cause damage.” The above described disadvantage is referred to as a disadvantage D5.

Embodiment 2

FIG. 19 is an embodiment of a device having an attachment part 622 attachable to a fabric product (e.g., a towel, a neckerchief, a scarf, a hood, a bandana, a stole, a circle stole, a fabric product put on a neck, a fabric product hung on a shoulder, a fabric product capable of retaining water to be vaporized, a fabric product containing a water absorptive polymer and a fabric product storing a water absorptive polymer) and an air blowing part 301 that is supported by the attachment part 622, wherein the air blowing part 301 blows the air flow in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by the fabric product worn by the human body 609. The fabric product worn by the human body 609 is the fabric product put on the human body.

In the embodiment disclosed here, “towel” is used for the explanation as a representative of the fabric products listed above. In the explanation below, the same effect can be obtained even when “towel” is replaced by “neckerchief,” “scarf,” “hood,” “bandana,” “stole,” “circle stole,” “fabric product hung on a shoulder,” “fabric product put on a neck,” “fabric product capable of retaining water to be vaporized,” “fabric product containing a water absorptive polymer,” or “fabric product storing a water absorptive polymer.” The fabric product (e.g., Japanese Tenugui) which can be substantially used as a towel is included in the towel.

In general, the towel and the stole have a rectangular shape as shown in the towel 700 of FIG. 20. However, the towel and the stole available for the fabric product of the present embodiment is not limited to the rectangular shape. The stole is a general term for the fabric product put around the neck or hung on the shoulder.

For the hood or the bandana, a square-shaped fabric product or folded fabric product shown in FIG. 21 can be used. In addition, the fabric product having a shape fitting with the shape of the head of the human body or the fabric product processed into a shape of easily fitted on the head can be used as the hood or the bandana. The hood or the bandana available for the fabric product of the present embodiment is not limited to the shapes shown in FIG. 21. The bandana is a general term for the fabric product wound around the head. The hood is a general term for the fabric product put on the head.

For the scarf or the neckerchief, the fabric product having a shape of easily fitted around the neck can be used. For example, since the fabric product having a shape shown in FIG. 22 is easily wound around the neck, it can be used as the scarf or the neckerchief. For example, when the water absorptive polymer is stored in the bag-shaped part 760 of the fabric product shown in FIG. 22, “fabric product containing a water absorptive polymer” or “fabric product storing a water absorptive polymer” can be manufactured. The scarf or the neckerchief available for the fabric product of the present embodiment is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 22.

As for the material of the towel 700 and the outerwear 620, a fibrous textile fabric is preferably used. As for the fibers available for the towel 700 and the outerwear 620, plant fibers such as cotton and hemp, animal fibers such as silk, wool, alpaca and cashmere, regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra, semisynthetic fibers such as acetate, synthetic fibers such as polyester, acrylic, polyethylene terephthalate and nylon are used. For the plant fibers, cotton is optimally used. For the synthetic fibers, polyester is optimally used. The fibers available for the material of the towel 700 and the outerwear 620 are not limited to the above described materials. By using the above described materials, “fabric product capable of retaining water to be vaporized” can be manufactured. In addition, non-woven fabric can be used as the towel 700 and the outerwear 620.

For the water absorptive polymer, any polymers can be used as long as the polymers have high water-retaining property. For example, polyacrylic sodium based high water absorptive polymer is optimally used as the water absorptive polymer. In addition, it is also possible to use the water absorptive polymer obtained by polymerizing starch or cellulose with a water-soluble monomer containing a hydrophilic group (e.g., carboxyl group, sulfonic group) and/or a monomer which becomes water soluble by hydrolysis while a crosslinking agent is added as an essential component and hydrolysis is performed if required. When the water absorptive polymer is formed in particles or fine powders and included in the fabric product, water absorption efficiency of the polymer can be increased. Thus, moisture can be absorbed in a short time. For example, “fabric product capable of retaining water to be vaporized,” “fabric product containing a water absorptive polymer” or “fabric product storing a water absorptive polymer” can be manufactured by referring to Reference Document 4.

The center 701 of the towel 700 shown in FIG. 20 is located at the center of gravity of the towel 700. The distance 704 from the center 701 of the towel 700 to the end parts 703 is 15 cm.

The length 705 of the end parts 703 of the towel 700 shown in FIG. 20 is longer than 10 cm. When the length 705 is longer than 15 cm, the present embodiment has an effect that the fan machine 300 can be easily attached to the towel 700. When the length 705 is longer than 20 cm, the present embodiment has an effect that the fan machine 300 can be easily slid at the end parts 703. Thus, the present embodiment has an effect that the distance from the air blowing part 300 to the neck of the human body 609 can be adjusted.

A width 711 of the towel 700 available for a face towel is generally 5 cm or more. Almost all commercially available face towels have a width of 15 cm or more and 45 cm or less. An average of the width is approximately 34 cm.

A length 710 of the towel 700 available for a face towel is generally 40 cm or more. Almost all commercially available face towels have a length of 50 cm or more and 90 cm or less. An average of the length is approximately 76 cm. The commercially available face towels are optimally used as the towel 700 of the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, when an average commercially available face towel is used as the towel 700, the towel 700 can be easily attached to the fan machine 300 and the fan machine 300 and the towel 700 are easily slidable with each other. Thus, the present embodiment has an effect that the distance from the air blowing part 301 to the neck of the human body 609 can be easily adjusted.

In FIGS. 19 to 29, two end parts 703 are shown in gray. This is for clearly showing the positional relation between the two end parts 703. It is not necessary to distinguish the intermediate part 702 and the end parts 703 by different colors in the actual towel 700.

When the intermediate part 702 of the towel 700 is hung on the neck of the human body 609, the end parts 703 located at the left and right of the towel 700 are arranged to hang down in front of the chest of the human body 609. The towel 700 hung on the neck is the fabric product put on the neck. The fabric product worn on the neck is put on the neck. The fabric product put on the neck is worn by the human body.

The attachment part 622 shown in FIGS. 7 to 12 is optimally used as the attachment part 622 of the present embodiment. The fan machine 300 shown in FIGS. 13 to 16 is optimally used as the fan machine 300 having the attachment part 622 and the air blowing part 301.

As shown in FIGS. 19 to 27, the end parts 703 located at the left and right of the towel 700 are respectively inserted into the holes 638 symmetrically arranged at the upper left and upper right of the attachment part 622. Since two holes 638 are symmetrically arranged in the left and right, each of the end parts 703 can be easily inserted through each of the holes 638.

The two end parts 703 inserted through the holes 638 support the attachment part 622 symmetrically. Consequently, the two end parts 703 support the fan machine 300 with good balance.

As shown in FIG. 2, the holes 638 are formed by the arm 623, the foot 632 and the wing 624 of the attachment part 622. The longitudinal width of the holes 638 is approximately 1 cm, and the lateral width is approximately 4 cm. As another embodiment, a hole having the longitudinal width of approximately 1 cm and the lateral width of approximately 8 cm can be used instead of the two holes 638 by removing the wall separating the two holes 638. In this case, the two end parts 703 similarly support the fan machine 300 by inserting both of the end parts 703 through the above described single hole. The hole shape forming part 638 formed by the arm 623, the foot 632 and the wing 624 defines the shape of the holes 638. The hole shape forming part 638 is a part for forming at least one hole shape on the fan machine 300. The hole shape forming part 638 is a part through which the towel 700 is passed. The shape of the hole formed by the hole shape forming part 638 is not limited to the shape of the holes 638 shown in FIG. 2. The hole formed by the hole shape forming part 638 can be located anywhere on the attachment part 622, the air blowing part 301, the support part 210 or the fan machine 300.

Consequently, as shown in FIG. 29, when the end parts 703 of the towel 700 (i.e., commercially available face towel having a width of approximately 34 cm and a length of approximately 76 cm) are passed through the holes 638, the holes 638 tighten the end parts 703. A frictional force is generated between the end parts 703 and the holes 638 by the above described tightening. Thus, the hole shape forming part 638 is stably supported by the end parts 703 of the towel 700.

When enough frictional force cannot be obtained between the end parts 703 and the holes 638 (e.g., when a thin fabric product is used as the towel 700), both the two end parts 703 are held by the arm 623 as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25. Thus, the present embodiment has an effect that the attachment part 623 is tightly supported by both of the two end parts 703 of the towel 700.

Consequently, the attachment part 622 is detachably supported by the towel 700 by hanging the two holes 638 of the attachment part 622 from the end parts 703 located at the left and right of the towel 700.

As shown in FIG. 19, the towel 700 is suspended from the neck by inserting the neck of the human body 609 through a ring structure formed by the towel 700 and the attachment part 622. The present embodiment has an effect that the air blowing part 301 is hung by the towel 700 suspended from the neck of the human body 609 by supporting the air blowing part 301 by the attachment part 622 supported by the towel 700.

As shown in FIG. 19, the direction of the attachment part 622 is stabilized since the foot 632 (or contact part) of the attachment part 622 is in contact with the surface of the outerwear 620 worn by the human body 609 or the surface of the end parts 703 of the towel 700.

The present embodiment has an effect that the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 of the fan machine 300 supported by the towel 700 can be stably applied to the neck of the human body 609 and the towel 700 by the above described synergistic effect. As another possible embodiment, a cylindrical-shaped body described in Reference Document 5 can be used instead of the rod-shaped body 308. The devices X1 to X14 can be manufactured by providing the support part 210 having a shape capable of detachably supporting the above described cylindrical-shaped body on the attachment part 622. In addition, the above described devices can be manufactured by providing a shape having the same feature as the attachment part described in the devices X1 to X14 on the cylindrical-shaped body described in Reference Document 5.

As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the end parts 703 and the attachment part 622 are slid mutually by applying a force larger than the frictional force generated between the end parts 703 and the holes 638 by hands to pull the end parts 703 and the attachment part 622 in opposite directions with each other. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the distance between the air blowing part 301 and the neck of the human body 609 can be adjusted.

When the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is applied to the towel 700 containing water, vaporization of water contained in the towel 700 is promoted. Because of the above described promotion of the vaporization, the amount of heat taken away from the towel 700 is increased. Thus, the cooling of the towel 700 is promoted by the air flow. Consequently, the effect of cooling the neck from which the towel 700 is suspended is increased. Furthermore, the air flow applied to the towel 700 is also cooled by the vaporization of the water. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect that the human body 609 is cooled by both the cooled air flow and the cooled towel 700.

As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the air blowing part 301 and the attachment part 622 are easily detached from each other. Thus, the air blowing part 301 can be detached from the towel 700 when the towel 700 is immersed in the water so that the water is contained in the towel 700. Consequently, the present embodiment prevents an accident that the air blowing part 301 is accidentally wetted.

(Explanation of inventive step based on comparison with Reference Documents)

A movable holder 29 of the device shown in FIG. 8 of Reference Document 6 can slidably suspend and hold a mobile phone from a string (strap). However, when the string of the device shown in FIG. 8 of Reference Document 6 is wetted with water, the water dropped from the string may enters into the mobile phone which is an electronic device. Thus, there is a risk of damaging the mobile phone.

It is difficult to replace the string described in FIG. 8 of Reference Document 6 with the towel. The towel can contain a larger amount of water compared to the string. If the wet towel and the mobile holder are mutually slid, the towel is squeezed when the mobile holder tightens the towel. Thus, the water squeezed out of the towel is easily dropped on the mobile phone.

On the other hand, the air blowing part 301 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 19 to 29 is not in contact with the towel 700. Consequently, the water contained in the towel 700 is prevented from entering into the air blowing part 301. The air blowing part 301 of the devices X7 to X12 which are the embodiments explained below are not wetted with water dropped from the towel 700. Therefore, even when the towel 700 is wetted with water, the air blowing part 301 is prevented from being broken by water and the air blowing part 301 continues to blow the air flow. Hereafter, the effect of preventing the water from entering into the device is referred to as “waterproof effect.”

Namely, the devices X7 to X12 solve a new problem that “the water is prevented from entering into the fan machine from the towel suspended from the neck.” The inventors of Reference Document 2 cannot arrive at the necessity of preventing the water from entering into the fan machine from the wet towel. Thus, the devices X7 to X12 have an inventive step with respect to the device described in Reference Document 2 or 6.

The device X6 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, the fabric product is detachable from the attachment part 622, the air blowing part 301 is detachable from the attachment part 622, and the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow to the fabric product in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by the fabric product put on a neck of the human body 609.” The device X1 is explained in Embodiment 1 in detail.

In the device X7, by the waterproof effect described in the paragraph 0157 above, the air blowing part 301 is prevented from being broken by water and continues to blow the air flow even when the fabric product is wetted with water. Thus, the device X7 has an inventive step with respect to the device described in Reference Document 2 or 6. Furthermore, the device X7 has remarkable effects described below.

In general, attaching the fan machine to the end parts of the wet fabric product (e.g., towel containing water) is more difficult than attaching the fan machine to the dry string shown in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1.

In general, the towel is wider and thicker than the string. Therefore, the work of inserting the towel into a narrow hole or a narrow gap by human hands is far more difficult than the work of inserting a string into it. In particular, when the towel is wet with water, there is a risk that the water enters into the fan machine.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the towel having a certain width and thickness is inserted through the holes 638 of the attachment part 622 or the towel is held between the outer part 626 and the inner part 627, the human hands grasping the towel having a certain width and thickness are brought into contact with the air-sending part 301. Thus, the operation is considerably difficult compared to the case of attaching the string. In particular, when the towel is wet with water, there is a risk that the water squeezed out of the towel enters into the fan machine by strongly gripping the towel with hands.

The device X7 overcomes the above described disadvantages by the double detachment function which is “the towel 700 is detachable from the attachment part 622 and the air blowing part 301 is detachable from the attachment part 622.” As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the device X7 enables that the attachment part 622 is supported by the wet towel 700 in a state that the air blowing part 301 is detached from the attachment part 622.

Consequently, the present embodiment has a remarkable effect of making the assembling work easier and safer. It is difficult to predict the above described effect from Patent Document 1. Thus, the device X7 has an inventive step.

In addition, the present embodiment has an effect of eliminating the risk of accidentally dropping the air sending part 301 during the assembling work. The work of attaching the wet towel having a certain width and thickness is far more difficult than the work of attaching the dry string. In particular, the water makes the attachment part 622 slippery. Therefore, the risk of dropping the attachment part 622 and the air blowing part 301 during the work is considerably reduced by detaching the air blowing part 301 since the air blowing part 301 may obstruct the work.

In addition, due to the above described double detachment function, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing an accident of wetting the air blowing part 301 during the work of wetting the towel 700 attached to the device of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the towel 700 is tightly fixed to the attachment part 622. In general, it takes time for the attachment work and the detachment work between the towel and the attachment part. This is a conventional disadvantage. The above described disadvantage can be overcome by the double detachment function of the device X7.

Namely, the air blowing part 301 can be easily detached from the attachment part 622 without detaching the towel 700 from the attachment part 622. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the towel 700 can be wetted with water without wetting the air blowing part 301 with water.

Furthermore, even when the work of wetting the towel 700 is repeated a plurality of times, the attachment part 622 is kept to be tightly fixed to the towel 700. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of remarkably improving the safety of drop prevention.

The device X8 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, and the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow to the fabric product in a state that the air blowing part 301 is not in contact with the fabric product, the air blowing part 301 being supported by the attachment part 622 supported by the fabric product put on a neck of the human body 609.”

The effects of the device X8 are as follows.

The air blowing part 301 of the fan machine 300 includes “electronic component that should not be wetted” such as an electric motor 303. Therefore, when the towel 700 is wetted with water, a sufficient distance should be kept between the air blowing part 301 and the towel 700 so that the water contained in the towel 700 is not in contact with the air blowing part 301.

As shown in FIG. 19, the device X8 has the attachment part 622 between the towel 700 and the air blowing part 301. Because of this, the air blowing part 301 is not directly in contact with the towel 700 and the air blowing part 301 is indirectly supported by the towel 700 via the attachment part 622. Namely, the air blowing part 301 is supported by the attachment part 622 so that the air blowing part 301 is kept apart from the towel 700. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing the water contained in the towel 700 from entering into the air blowing part 301.

On the other hand, in the fan machine shown in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, the body having the air blowing part is directly in contact with the towel. Therefore, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 has a risk of being damaged by the water entered from the towel to the air blowing part. The inventors of Reference Document 2 cannot arrive at the necessity of preventing the water from entering into the fan machine from the wet towel.

Thus, the device X8 has a feature that “the air blowing part is not in contact with the fabric product” and has an inventive step with respect to the fan machine described in Reference Document 2.

The device X9 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein a movable part 215/307/324/325/326/327 is provided between the attachment part 622 and the air blowing part 301, the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, the fabric product is detachable from the attachment part 622, a direction of the air flow is adjustable by moving the movable part 215/307/324/325/326/327, and the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow to the fabric product in a state that the air blowing part is not in contact with a cloth 620 put on the human body 609, the air blowing part 301 being supported by the attachment part 622 supported by the fabric product put on a neck of the human body 609.”

The effects of the device X9 are as follows.

As shown in FIG. 19, the water contained in the towel 700 is vaporized by attaching the fan machine 300 of the device X9 to the towel 700 hung on the neck of the user. In addition, when the user sits in front of a desk 600, the fan machine 300 can be detached from the towel 700 and the fan machine 300 can be placed on the desk 600 as shown in FIG. 16. At that time, since the movable part of the device X9 is provided, the air blowing part 301 can be directed to the towel 700 hung on the neck of the user. Because of this, the water contained in the towel 700 is continuously vaporized.

As explained above, the device X9 can blow the air flow to the towel 700 hung on the neck of the user by the above described two ways. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of remarkably reducing the burden on the neck of the user.

Namely, the present embodiment has an effect that “the vaporization of water contained in the towel 700 is continued to be promoted without applying the burden of the weight of the fan machine 300 on the neck of the user.”

In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, the air blowing part 301 is supported without being in contact with the outerwear 620 (i.e., cloth 620) put on the human body 609. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing the air blowing part 301 from contacting the water contained in the outerwear 620 even when the water contained in the towel 700 is penetrated into the outerwear 620 and the outerwear 620 is wet.

On the other hand, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 is directly in contact with the outerwear worn by the user. Therefore, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that the water contained in the outerwear easily enters into the fan machine. In addition, when the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 is placed on the desk surface, it is difficult to adjust the direction of the air flow toward the towel 700 hung on the neck of the user sit in front of the desk. Therefore, even when the user sits in front of the desk, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 should be continuously attached to the towel hung on the neck of the user. Thus, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that the weight of the fan machine is continuously applied to the neck of the user.

It is difficult to arrive at the above described effects from the fan machine described in Reference Document 2. Thus, the device X9 has an inventive step.

The device X10 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the hood 720, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, the fabric product is detachable from the attachment part 622, and a distance between the air blowing part 301 and a head of the human body 609 is adjustable by pulling the fabric product and the attachment part 622 in mutually opposite directions so that the fabric product and the attachment part 622 are mutually slid in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by the fabric product put on a head of the human body 609.” Note that the head means a portion above the neck of the human body. The head includes the neck.

In the device X10, by the waterproof effect described in the paragraph 0157 above, the air blowing part 301 can be slid without wetting the air blowing part 301 even when the fabric product is wetted with water. Thus, the device X10 has an inventive step with respect to the devices described in Reference Document 2 or 6. Furthermore, the device X10 has remarkable effects described below.

FIG. 26 shows one of the attaching modes of the attachment part 622 in the device X10 shown in FIG. 19. The both end parts 700 of the towel 700 pass through the holes 638 of the attachment part 622. In addition, the both end parts 703 of the towel 700 are embraced by the arm 623 of the attachment part 622. Therefore, even when the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are strongly pulled in mutually opposite directions by hands of the human body 609, the attachment part 622 is not detached from the towel 700 and the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are mutually slid.

In another attaching mode shown in FIG. 28, the both end parts 703 of the towel 700 do not pass through the holes 638 and embraced by the arm 623. Also in this mode, even when the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are strongly pulled in mutually opposite directions by hands of the human body 609, the attachment part 622 is not detached from the towel 700 and the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are mutually slid.

In another attaching mode shown in FIG. 29, the both end parts 703 of the towel 700 pass through the holes 638 without being embraced by the arm 623. Also in this mode, even when the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are strongly pulled in mutually opposite directions by hands of the human body 609, the attachment part 622 is not detached from the towel 700 and the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are mutually slid. In this mode, a hole shape forming part 632 forming a hole 632 is a holding part 632 for holding the towel 700.

In all of the above described attaching modes, as shown in FIG. 27, “the distance between the air blowing part 301 and the head is adjustable by pulling the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 in mutually opposite directions by the hands of the human body 609 so that the towel 700 and the attachment part 622 are mutually slid in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by the towel 700 put on the head.” (Hereafter, the above described effect is referred to as “sliding adjustment effect.”)

When the towel 700 is thick, the attachment part 622 of the device X10 and X11 holds the towel 700 by the attaching mode described in the paragraph 0148 and FIG. 29. When the towel 700 is thin, the attachment part 622 holds the towel 700 by the attaching mode described in the paragraph 0149 and FIG. 26. Since the above described two types of holding methods are provided, the devices X10 and X11 hold the towels of various thicknesses. (Hereafter, referred to as “thickness adjustment effect.”)

Furthermore, the attachment part 622 of the devices X10 and X11 detachably holds the towel 700. (Hereafter, referred to as “detachable effect.”)

On the other hand, the clip-type fan machine shown in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2 is the fan machine attachable to the towel hung on the neck. Both ends of the towel hung on the neck are overlapped with each other in front of the chest to form a ring structure by the towel. The ring structure is fixed by holding the overwrapped part by the clip of the fan machine. Because of this, the fan machine is hung on the neck.

In FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, the frictional force is generated at the part where both ends of the towel are overlapped by holding the both overlapped ends of the towel by the clip. The ring structure of the towel is maintained by the frictional force. If the overlapped position is even slightly displaced from the position held by the clip, the frictional force does not act and the ring structure of the towel is collapsed.

Therefore, the clip-type fan machine shown in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that the towel and the fan machine fall from the neck when the overlapped position of the both ends of the towel is even slightly displaced from the position held by the clip. Furthermore, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that the ring structure is easily collapsed when the fan machine and the towel are strongly pulled in mutually opposite directions.

Thus, the fan machine described in Reference Document 2 has a disadvantage that it is very difficult to adjust the distance between the fan machine and the neck by pulling the towel and the fan machine in mutually opposite directions while keeping the state of supporting the fan machine by the towel hung on the neck.

The device X10 overcomes the above described disadvantages. It is difficult to arrive at the device having the above described four effects (waterproof effect, sliding adjustment effect, thickness adjustment effect, detachable effect) of the device X10 from Reference Documents 2 and 6. Thus, the device X10 has an inventive step.

The device X11 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the hood 720, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, the fabric product is detachable from the attachment part 622, and a left part 622L and a right part 622R of the attachment part 622 hold a left end part 703L and a right end part 703R of the fabric product respectively.”

In the device X11, by the waterproof effect described in the paragraph 0157 above, the distance between the air blowing part 301 and the head can be adjusted without wetting the air blowing part 301 even when the fabric product is wetted with water. Thus, the device X11 has an inventive step with respect to the devices described in Reference Document 2 or 6. Furthermore, the device X11 has remarkable effects described below.

As shown in FIGS. 26 to 29, the left part 622L and the right part 622R of the attachment part 622 equipped with the device X11 hold the left end part 703L and the right end part 703R of the towel 700 respectively.

Consequently, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 26 to 27 has “the effect of enabling the adjustment of the distance between the air blowing part 301 and the head by vertically moving the attachment part 622 along the end parts 703 of the towel 700.” (Hereafter, referred to as “distance adjustment effect.”)

As shown in FIG. 26, in the device X11, the attachment part 622 symmetrically supports the left and right end parts 703 of the towel 700 without making the left and right end parts 703 cross with each other. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the towel 700 is continued to be held stably without changing the dynamic stability even when the attachment part 622 is vertically moved along the end parts 703 of the towel 700.

On the other hand, in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, the left and right end parts of the towel are crossed with each other. Therefore, the clip of the fan machine does not symmetrically support the left and right end parts of the towel. (In FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, the left end part is overlapped on the right end part at the crossed part. Thus, the crossed part is not symmetrically.) Because of this, in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, it is difficult to vertically slide the fan machine passing through the crossed part of the towel which is asymmetrically arranged.

The device X11 overcomes the above described disadvantages. It is difficult to arrive at the device having the above described four effects (waterproof effect, distance adjustment effect, thickness adjustment effect, detachable effect) of the device X11 from Reference Documents 2 and 6. Thus, the device X11 has an inventive step.

The device X12 which is the above described embodiment is “the device according to the device X1, wherein a hole shape forming part that forms at least one hole shape is provided, the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the towel 700, the stole 700, the neckerchief 740, the scarf 740, the bandana 720, the fabric product 700/720/740 capable of retaining water and the fabric product 740 storing the water absorptive polymer, and the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow to the fabric product in a state that the fabric product put on a neck of the human body 609 passes through the hole shape forming part.”

In the device X12, by the waterproof effect described in the paragraph 0157 above, the air blowing part 301 is prevented from being broken by water and continues to blow the air flow even when the fabric product is wetted with water. Thus, the device X12 has an inventive step with respect to the device described in Reference Document 6. Furthermore, the device X12 has remarkable effects described below. As shown in FIGS. 23 to 27, the attachment part 622 of the device X12 has the holes 638 through which the towel 700 is passed. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the attachment part 622 is not detached from the end parts 703 by the holes 638 even when the attachment part 622 and the end parts 703 are pulled in mutually opposite directions. (Hereafter, referred to as “detachment preventing effect.”)

In addition, as shown in FIG. 29, the attachment part 622 is supported from the towel 700 by the holes 638. (Hereafter, referred to as “supporting effect.”)

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 27, the holes 638 are located in front of the air blowing part 301. The position of each end parts 703 is fixed to the appropriate position by each of the holes 638. Thus, the air flow blown out from the air blowing part 301 is stably applied to the end parts 703 exposed from the holes 638. As a result, the water contained in the towel 700 is stably and continuously vaporized. (Hereafter, referred to as “water vaporization stabilization effect.”)

On the other hand, in the fan machine shown in FIG. 21 of Reference Document 2, an air blow port is located on the upper side of the fan machine, a clip is located at the lower side of the fan machine, and the towel is held by the clip located at the lower side. Therefore, in the fan machine of Reference Document 2, it is difficult to place the towel near the air blow port continuously. Thus, the fan machine of Reference Document 2 cannot blow the air flow stably to the towel. Consequently, the effect of urging the vaporization of the water stably cannot be obtained in the fan machine of Reference Document 2.

In the device X12, when “the side of the holes 638, the shape of the holes 638 and the position of the holes 638” are appropriately determined as shown in FIG. 29, “waterproof effect,” “detachment preventing effect,” “supporting effect” and “water vaporization stabilization effect can be obtained simultaneously in the present embodiment. It is difficult to arrive at the above described synergistic effect from the fan machine described in Reference Document 2. Thus, the device X12 has an inventive step.

Embodiment 3

The device X13 which is the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 17 and 19 is “the device according to the device X1, wherein water contained in the fabric product is prevented from entering into the air blowing part 301 in a state that the fabric product contains the water and the attachment part 622 is supported by the fabric product put on the human body 609.”

The air blowing part 301 of the embodiment described in FIGS. 1, 3, 17 and 19 is not in contact with the fabric product put on the human body 609. The movable part 215/307/324/325/326/327 is provided between the attachment part 622 and the air blowing part 301, and the air blowing part 301 is apart from the fabric product. Because of this, the water contained in the fabric product is prevented from entering into the air blowing part 301. Even when the fabric product is wetted with water, the air blowing part 301 of the device X13 is not wetted with the water dropped from the fabric product. Therefore, even when the fabric product is wetted with water, the air blowing part 301 is prevented from being broken by water and the air blowing part 301 continues to blow the air flow. Namely, the device X13 solves a new problem that “the water is prevented from entering into the fan machine attached to the fabric product.” The inventors of Reference Document 1 or 2 cannot arrive at the necessity of preventing the water from entering into the fan machine from the wet towel or cloth. Thus, the device X13 has an inventive step with respect to the devices described in Reference Document 1 or 2.

Embodiment 4

The device X14 which is the embodiment shown in FIG. 17 is “the device according to the device X1, wherein a holding part 623 is provided on the attachment part 622, a movable part 326 is slidably provided between the holding part 623 and the air blowing part 301, the fabric product is selected from a group consisting of the cloth 620 and the shirt 620, the holding part 623 can hold the fabric product, and a height of the air blowing part 301 is adjustable by sliding the movable part 326 in a state that the attachment part 622 is supported by an edge of the fabric product put on the human body 609.”

The movable part 326 is provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outer part 626 of the arm 623 so that the movable part 326 is slidable (movement shown by an arrow 326 in FIG. 14). Thus, the height of the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted by sliding the movable part 326 which is slidable when the attachment part 622 holds the collar 621 or the edge 621 of the outerwear 620 as shown in FIG. 17.

Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the height of the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted to the appropriate position even when the attachment part 622 is attached to the outerwear 620 having the collar 621 of various heights.

Furthermore, even when the attachment part 622 of the present embodiment is attached to the outerwear 620 having the collar 621 of various heights, the distance between the air blowing part 301 and the edge 641 of the helmet 640 can be adjusted. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the amount of the air flow enters into the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head can be adjusted. The above described effect can be obtained even when the attachment part 642 is not attached to the helmet 640 as shown in FIG. 17.

In the present embodiment, the air blowing part 301 can be supported at the position higher than the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 by sliding the movable part 326.

As shown in FIG. 17, the attachment part 622 supports the air blowing part 301 so that the impeller 302 provided on the air blowing part 301 is located at the position higher than the collar 621. Namely, the attachment part 622 supports the air blowing part 301 so that the highest position of the impeller 302 is located at the position higher than the highest position of the collar 621.

Since the impeller 302 is located at the position higher than the collar 621, the impeller 302 of the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow from the rear side of the neck to the front side of the neck. Because of this, the air flow blows from the rear side of the neck to go away from the front side of the face while passing through the side of the cheek. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that smoke is kept away from the face to prevent the smoke from being sucked from the nose when the smoke exists in front of the face. Even when the height of the collar 621 of the outerwear 620 is low, the above described effect can be obtained by sliding the movable part 326 to adjust the air blowing part 301 to the appropriate height. The above described effect can be obtained even when the human body 609 does not put on the helmet 640.

In addition, since the impeller 302 is located at the position higher than the collar 621, the air blowing part 301 can blow the air flow from the position close to the edge 641 of the helmet 640 toward the edge 641. Consequently, the present embodiment has an effect that the amount of the air flow entering into the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the human body 609 is increased.

As the air blowing part 301 is approached nearer to the helmet 640 by sliding a movable part 327, the amount of the air flow entering into the gap 635 increases. Thus, the human body 609 feels more comfortability. However, if the air blowing part 301 is brought too close to the helmet 640, the helmet 640 and the air blowing part 301 are frequently collided with each other. Thus, the comfortability felt by the human body 609 decreases. The height of the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted to the appropriate position (position as close as possible to the helmet 640 within a range not collided with the helmet 640) by appropriately sliding the movable part 326. Consequently, the present embodiment has a remarkable effect that the human body 609 can feel the maximum comfortability by sliding the movable part 326. It is difficult to predict the above described remarkable effect from Patent Document 1 or 2. Thus, the device X14 has an inventive step.

On the other hand, in the device described in Reference Document 1 or 2, the height of the fan device cannot be adjusted with respect to the height of the collar. Therefore, the device described in Reference Document 1 or 2 has a disadvantage that the shirt to which the device can be attached is limited.

The device X14 overcomes the disadvantage of the device described in Reference Document 1 or 2 and has the remarkable effect which cannot be predicted. Thus, the device X14 has an inventive step.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, since the movable part 326 is provided between the air blowing part 301 and the outerwear 620, the air blowing part 301 is not in contact with the outerwear 620. Therefore, even when the outerwear 620 is wetted with water, the air blowing part 301 continues to blow the air flow without causing failure of the air blowing part 301 due to the water. Consequently, the device X14 has an inventive step since the air blowing part continues to blow the air flow even when the fabric product contains the water.
